Distributor gear dry
I started my new motor up yesterday for the 25 min. cam break in period. Well the break in only lasted about 10 min. because the engine was running rough and lots of black smoke. I shut it down because I figured I had the valves a little tight and was going to loosen them up some. At this point I pulled the distributor and noticed that the gear looked awfull dry, as in very little oil on it. Took a flash light and looked down into the hole and the gear on the cam looked compleatly dry. The dist. gear looks as if it has some slight wear marks between the splines. This is a dist. from my other engine and the marks were not there before. The engine was reading about 60psi oil preasure during break in. The cam on the other motor was a Crane and this one is a Comp Cams. The distributor is a MSD. Any one have any ideas as to why there would not be any oil on the gears????? |
